The main reason we don’t have any ice more than 2 million years old is because there was probably no (or very little) ice on Earth 2.5 million years ago and the planet was a bit warmer than today.


Our last ice age was 12,000 years ago and our best analysis shows that the next one won't be concurring for another 100,000 when its supposed to be arriving in 50,000 years.
So why the 50,000 year delay? Man made climate change. CO2 stays in the atmosphere for 200 years, but we've thrown up so much CO2 from fossil fuels that it's permanently messed up the global cycle.
Global warming has warmed the planet up so much that the natural cooling has been completely nullified.
